Karl W. Schmidt announces the introduction of its maintenance-free drives as standard equipment on most KWS conveyors.
The use of shaft-mounted-motor/reducers and variable speed drives provides the following benefits to the end user:
No chains and sprockets to wear or require lubrication
No V-belts to inspect and tighten
No constant need for chain tightening
No clutch or hubs and sleeves to service
Maximum efficiency with helical gearing
Variable speed drive for soft starts and overload protection
Simple oil level viewing is all that is required
Less valuable time spent working on your conveyor drive system
“This is another improvement for the sake of efficiency in operation and ease of maintenance for our customers’ benefit. Continual improvement to already successful equipment is our corporate mentality that brings KWS customers back, again and again.” says Jeffrey Van Galder, sales manager.
Karl W. Schmidt and Associates, Inc., Commerce City, CO, has been manufacturing conveyors for demanding applications for over 25 years.
